This ancient bridge has survived the vicissitudes of life. In addition to its good construction materials, the most important thing is that its design is very stable. This is a very typical ancient stone arch bridge with thin piers and flat arches, both in terms of arch rings and piers. They are all relatively thin, lightweight and compact in structure.

For example, the Ba Bridge in Chang'an was built in the Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,000 years. There are also many stone bridges built in the Southern Song Dynasty in Quanzhou. There are also very famous bridges in other places, such as the Zhaozhou Bridge.

However, in China, there are not only these famous ancient bridges. In fact, there are ancient bridges in almost every city, every county, every village, and they are either intact and still in use, or they have become dilapidated and become the most vicissitudes of life in the weeds. Babies, whether they are being noticed or forgotten now, they are still shining in place, waiting for those who are destined to encounter their glory again.

The ancient bridge that Lu Jiu walked through at this time was like this. It had no reputation and would be replaced even when newer bridges appeared. But every brick and stone of it wrote about its antiquity and its ability. If in this brick and stone With copper skin and iron bones added to it, can it continue to stand proudly for thousands of years?

Inspired by this ancient stone bridge, the vague bridge in Lu Jiu's mind finally became concrete. However, this was obviously not the time to dwell on it and discuss it. When he arrived at the tidal flat, he quickly led his people to meet Teacher Lin.

At this time, Teacher Lin had already begun to deploy rescue work.

To repair a damaged embankment, we must first stabilize it, then block it, and finally solidify it.

Everyone who has participated in flood rescue has experience, but for a rescue team with all recruits, it can only be led by Teacher Lin.

At this time, he was leading people to make earth bags.

It is unrealistic to throw objects at the large opening of the embankment that has been breached. The only option is to form a human wall and transport bags of soil in to refill and consolidate the breached embankment.

While everyone was making earth bags non-stop, Lu Jiu and his party arrived.

So under the organization of Lu Jiu Pingan, the little soldiers tied each other with ropes. They lined up in double rows and started to wade into the water under the leadership of Lu Jiu Pingan.

The little soldiers were so close together that they looked like penguins crossing the river. Everyone helped each other, even if some of them had slippery feet, no one fell behind with the help of their comrades.

Suddenly, a wall of forty or fifty people stood on the river more than ten meters wide. Then the people on the shore began to pass around the bags of earth, while the people in the water groped to put them into the gap, first on both sides, filling the bags one by one.

If one or two bags are washed away, add three or four bags. If that still doesn't work, use an artificial wall to block the back until the accumulated earth bags are large enough and heavy enough that the water flow can no longer touch them. Only a row of young soldiers were willing to get up.

Flood fighting and rescue operations are not instantaneous. A few strokes seem to be just an instant. In fact, several hours have passed before the water situation gradually stabilized.

At this time, the hands and feet of the little warrior in the water were white and swollen.

It was already mid-September, and it was very cold in the mountains of Sichuan and Chongqing. The little soldiers seemed to be braving the cold when they spoke, but no one dared to take it lightly, because at this time, it started to rain again.

If rainfall increases, there is a risk that the containment dams will collapse again.

Teacher Lin pondered for a while and said, "Everyone, please retreat to your original position to rest and wait for the situation. If there is any water leakage, we will go down again."

Everyone has been soaking in the water for several hours. Even if everyone is made of copper and iron, it would be uncomfortable, let alone that they are only flesh and blood.

It's just a small victory at this point, the real battle is whether there will be heavy rains next, not just later, but also tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.

If this is a protracted battle, then everyone’s bodies cannot be exhausted today, otherwise it will be difficult later.

The little warriors in the river had been holding on in the water for several hours. Although their bodies had already lost their temperature and their hands and feet were numb, there was no order to retreat. Everyone was stuck in the water like a bronze man. At this time, Teacher Lin spoke. , everyone then slowly walked to the shore.

However, when everyone walked up, they realized that every step weighed a thousand pounds. It was even easier than standing in the water, and they couldn't lift their legs.

"Hurry up!" Teacher Lin saw the stiffness of the little soldiers and quickly asked the vigilant little soldiers on the shore to pull them.

So everyone dragged and dragged dozens of people out of the water.

Everyone returned to the shore and immediately gathered around the bonfire.

The logistics workers on the shore were divided into two groups. One group stood guard by the river to keep an eye on the water conditions, while the other group handed these people hot water to soak in dry food.

After being tired for several hours, no one had the energy to chat anymore. Everyone devoured their food and began to take off their shoes and wet clothes. However, their feet had been soaked for so long that they became hairy. The lazy person's usual method of taking off their shoes didn't work, and they couldn't pull out their shoes. In the end, they had to remove several shoelace buckles to pull out their feet.

You won’t know it until you look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. Everyone’s feet are white and fat. The calluses on the soles of the feet from years of training are soaked. A layer of skin will fall off with just a scratch. It takes a long time for the blood to seep out. Come.

However, none of the little soldiers complained, and everyone was smiling.

A few drops of light rain occasionally drifted in the sky, but the bonfire was very warm, and no one wanted to leave. They needed the warmth so much at this time.

Teacher Lin also knew the hard work of the little soldiers. He comforted everyone: "You have done a good job. Now take a rest and recharge your batteries. When the task is completed, I will praise you to the organization."

This sentence of praise to the organization was worth a thousand words. The exhausted energy of the little soldiers suddenly returned, but they still replied shyly: "Serving the people is what we should do."

Teacher Lin couldn't help but laugh and chatted with the little soldiers for a few more words before sitting down next to Lu Jiu.

"How's your bridge idea coming along?"

At this time, Lu Jiu was obviously still distracted. He suddenly came back to his senses when he heard Teacher Lin's words.

Teacher Lin couldn't help but smile when he saw him like this: "Uncomfortable? Thank you for your hard work."

"Ahem, no, Xiangqiao was in a trance." Lu Jiu smiled awkwardly, silently hiding the slight discomfort in his body.

His knee joints were effused and strained. He was hit while rescuing Song Wei during the day, and was soaked in water for several hours. He would be lying if he said he didn't feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't tolerate getting sick at this time.

Lu Jiu sat upright, pretending that nothing happened and started talking about business.

"Teacher Lin, I remember you have a brochure here about prestressed concrete bridges, right?"

Teacher Lin was stunned: "How do you know?"

This booklet is the latest bridge information book in the world today. He asked Shen Baizhou, a young man who has been traveling overseas all year round, to get it back. The information here is very precious, and it records the most advanced bridge information today.

Lin Musen considered that Lu Jiu was still laying the foundation so as not to affect him, so he didn't give him the book yet, but he didn't expect that he would know about it.
